My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in The Clockwork Chronicles series. Since it leads off directly after the first one, I would suggest reading the first book before this one.

I must say, I enjoyed this book a lot more than the first one. The author delves into the concept of the main characters powers more and has the writing is more theirs this time around. More experience went into this book.

We once again follow Arabella, a witch of technomancy, a power no witch has possessed before now. The rest of the witch community is divided. Some see Arabella as hope for the future while others see her as an abomination. Before now, witches and technology did not mix.

In order to protect Arabella from those who wish her harm, her mother sent her and her sister, Rowena, to Ireland to help find a solution to the blight that is affecting crops causing starving families. Witches in the past have tried to no avail. Can Arabella bring a new light to this blight?

Arabella is the 7th daughter of the most powerful witch in the UK. So because of this, everyone was expecting her to be a powerful witch as well. As it turns out, Arabella has shown no signs of any kind of powers.

Arabella and her family attended an event where they were introduced to a big machine that can do calculations on its own. As soon as Arabella sees this machine, her magic kicks in. She sees magic in the machines.

Usually magic and technology do not mix but somehow Arabella can make it work.

This book hit all of the witch tropes with a splash of historical steampunk. The author took two popular topics and mashed them together. There were too many tropes. It was like the author purposely tried to hit them all right down to the names. The concept was great on it’s own so all the tropes were kind of overkill.
